What went well

Touched down at 9 fpm — a soft arrival
No sideways movement at touchdown

What held you back

Arrival Approach — bank angle up to 48.8 ° at 0 %, Fastest descent 3,345 fpm at 0 %, −11.39 points
Departure Transition — Sank at up to 448 fpm while accelerating away at 30 %, Nose down by up to 19 ° at 82 %, −5.59 points
Enroute Descent — bank angle up to 74.0 ° at 32 %, −1.86 points

Next time

Departure

Lower the nose no further than 15° and add a little collective as the speed builds.

What happened: The nose went down by up to 19° to accelerate, and the helicopter sank at up to 448 fpm. A steep nose-down attitude trades height for speed, and sink is what usually follows.

Watch for: Attitude: nose no lower than 15°; vertical speed level or climbing.

See Departure Transition

Arrival

Line up with the landing spot earlier, so the last part of the approach needs only gentle turns.

What happened: The steepest bank on the approach was 49°, against 20° for full marks.

Watch for: Bank angle: within 20° on the approach.

See Arrival Approach

As you slow through about 20 knots near the end, add collective to offset the loss of translational lift, together with the matching pedal. Keep some forward speed until you're close to the ground.
